A cat barista asks for a tip. You tap NO TIP.

Real handheld iPhone video filmed by a customer standing at the cafe counter. One continuous single shot, no cuts, no zoom jumps: the camera keeps roughly the same framing with natural slight hand shake and tiny drift. The barista is a real grey British Shorthair cat with copper eyes, standing upright behind the stainless steel counter, wearing a black apron with a small round teal patch; mint-green espresso machine with no brand name on the left; a kraft paper cup with a round teal cat badge on the counter. Real cat behavior and anatomy, exactly two front paws, realistic liquids, natural cafe daylight, documentary phone footage, not animation, no added text, no logos other than the teal cat badge.
The customer's hand taps the phone on the card terminal the cat is holding out; the hand and phone pull back out of the frame to the right. The cat looks at the terminal screen, then sets the terminal down on the counter at the right side and turns its head toward the espresso machine. The apron is plain black (not green) with only the small round teal cat patch; no [real brand] or any real brand, no readable text anywhere.

The cat turns to the espresso machine on the left, rises a little on its hind legs and grips the black portafilter handle with both front paws, pushing it firmly into the group head. Dark espresso with golden crema starts streaming into a small clear shot glass on the drip tray; the cat leans in and watches the shot closely, concentrating, ears forward. The camera follows slightly to the left. The apron is plain black (never green) with only the small round teal cat patch; no [real brand] or any real brand, no readable text anywhere. Exactly two front paws, no morphing objects.

The camera drifts back a little to the right to show a stainless steel milk pitcher standing on the counter in front of the cat. A human hand comes in from the top left of the frame holding a plain white milk carton with a teal band and no text, tips it and pours a thick stream of cold milk into the pitcher. The cat leans its round face in close to the falling milk, curious, and about four seconds into the clip the stream hits it square in the face: thin liquid milk bursts into a spray of small droplets and wet splashes across its nose, whiskers and cheeks, droplets fly outward and drip off its chin, the fur on its face turns wet and streaky. The cat flinches back with its eyes squeezed shut and mouth open in shock, shakes its head, wet milk drops on its whiskers.
Avoid: green apron, [real brand], white circular logo on apron, readable real brand logos, text, foam clumps, cotton-like blobs, blur, slow motion.

The cat licks the milk off its nose once more and gives a small shake of its head, flicking milk drops from its whiskers, looking offended. Then it picks up the stainless steel milk pitcher with both front paws and holds it up under the steam wand of the espresso machine; the wand hisses and a dense plume of white steam billows up around the pitcher and drifts across the frame while the cat holds it steady with a serious expression, squinting through the steam. The cat's face, whiskers and the steel pitcher stay sharp and detailed behind the moving steam.

The cat sets the steamed milk pitcher down for a second, picks up the small glass of espresso and quickly tips the dark espresso into the kraft paper cup with the teal cat badge standing on the counter in front of it. Right away it lifts the steel milk pitcher with both paws and pours a thin stream of silky steamed milk into the cup, wiggling the pitcher so a white latte-art heart blooms on the brown crema, then lifts the pitcher away. The cat looks down into the cup in deep concentration. The apron is plain black (never green) with only the small round teal cat patch; no [real brand] or any real brand, no readable text anywhere. Exactly two front paws, no morphing objects.

The cat holds the kraft cup with the latte-art heart out toward the camera with both paws for a proud moment, then sets it down on the front edge of the counter right in front of it, and with one front paw slides the black card terminal toward the camera so its screen faces the customer. It stares straight into the lens, deadpan. The camera stays at the same distance with slight natural hand shake.

Candid amateur iPhone photo, handheld, shot by a customer standing at a cafe counter, 16:9 landscape. Natural mixed light: soft daylight from a large window on the left plus warm pendant bulbs, realistic exposure with slightly blown window highlights, faint sensor noise, slight softness like a phone video still, true-to-life colors. Looks like a real photo posted on Instagram, not a render: no CGI, no 3D look, no glossy plastic fur, no studio lighting, no bokeh exaggeration. No text, no letters, no logos, no signage anywhere. This is a still from the same phone video as the first reference image, a moment later: the camera has tilted back up to the cat's face. Same cafe, same lighting and colours as the first reference, same grey British Shorthair cat with copper eyes (sharp likeness from the second reference), same black apron with the small round teal patch, a few dried milk drops still on its whiskers. The cat stands behind the stainless counter and holds the kraft paper takeaway cup out toward the camera with both front paws, over the counter; the cup has a white latte-art heart on top and the round one-ink teal cat badge from the third reference printed on its side, facing the camera. The cat looks straight into the camera, proud and deadpan. The card terminal lies on the counter at the right with its screen up. Mint espresso machine on the left with no brand name. No other text.

Fast and deliberate. Right at the start the customer's thumb comes in from the bottom right, taps the big grey "No tip" button on the card terminal screen once and immediately pulls back out of frame. The cat stares straight into the camera, dead-still and deadpan, for about one second. Then, still staring into the lens, it reaches over with one front paw and pushes the coffee cup off the front edge of the counter: the cup tips over the edge and drops out of the bottom of the frame about two and a half seconds into the clip. The cat never looks down and keeps staring into the camera until the end, paw still out. Classic real cat knocking something off a counter on purpose.

Real iPhone video filmed by a customer standing at the cafe counter, phone held still at eye level. One continuous single shot, no cuts, no zoom: the camera keeps exactly the same framing as the first frame, with only tiny natural hand shake. The barista is the same real grey British Shorthair cat with copper eyes, standing upright behind the stainless steel counter, wearing a plain black apron with one small round teal patch; mint-green espresso machine with no brand name on the left; the card terminal on the right stays exactly where it is, unchanged. On the counter is a full kraft paper cup of hot latte with one round teal badge and no other logo. Real cat behavior and anatomy, exactly two front paws, one cup only, real liquid physics, natural cafe daylight, documentary phone footage, not animation, no added text.
The apron is black, never green. Avoid: green apron, [real brand], siren logo, white circular logo, any real coffee brand, [real brand], [real brand], [real brand], extra cups, extra paws, the cup lid, slow motion.
Quick and casual: in the first second the cat's paw bats the full paper cup sideways off the front edge of the counter. The light paper cup tips, the brown coffee inside sloshes out in a messy splash that lands on the counter and runs over the edge in drips, and the cup tumbles away below the frame, gone. Real liquid, wet splash marks stay on the steel counter. For the rest of the clip the cat sits perfectly still behind the empty counter, paw back down, and stares deadpan straight into the camera without blinking, as if nothing happened.
